HARDY PERENNIALS (continued) 
Price: 30e each, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100. except where noted 
SIBERIAN IRIS 
*Sibirica, Variety Oriemtalis—These are grassy-leaved 
Irises retaining lovely flowering foliage throughout the season 
and blooming just at the close of the bearded Iris season. The 
delicately poised blossoms are attractive and valuable both for 
cutting and garden decoration. White. Shades of Blue. 
Price: 25c per plant, $2.50 per dozen. 
LAVANDULA (Sweet Lavender) 
*Lavandula Vera—Sometimes called Spica or Officinalis, a 
shrub attaining a height of about 3 feet, producing lavender 
flowers later in the season, mostly grown for its fragrance or 
drying for Winter use. It is extensively used for rock gardens 
or as a border. 
LIATRIS (Blazing Star) 
+Squarosa—Long spikes of brilliant lavender blue flowers sur- 
rounding the stem like small thistles. Flowering in July and 
August when this particular color is lacking in the garden. 
Attains a height of about three feet and an excellent cut-flower 
subject. 
+Squarosa Alba—Pure white form of the above. A most at- 
tractive spike of flower in the garden, and one that caused a 
great deal of comment this past season. 
}+Pyecnostachya—Long narrow spikes of rich purple flowers. 
Rather an unusual growth, but splendid for cut flowers in July 
and August and also a fine variety for the border. Attains a 
height of about 4 feet. 
LILIES (Cultural Notes) 
Most Lily bulbs may be planted in the Spring or Fall. The 
most important factor in growing Lilies is that they should 
have good drainage. Manure or commercial fertilizer should 
never be allowed to come in direct contact with the bulbs, as 
this is often the cause of rotting or disease. In planting, dig 
the hole 6 inches deeper than the bulb is to be set and place 
some well decomposed leafmold in the bottom of the hole. Over 
this, place an inch or two of sand. The bulb is then placed on 
its side on the sand. A mulch of peat moss or leaf-mold is very 
necessary during the Summer, with straw and leaves for Winter 
covering. 
+Lilium Henryi—Very similar to Speciosum except in color- 
ing, which is a gorgeous orange yellow with a green stripe down 
the center of each petal. This Lily blooms in August and Sep- 
tember, which makes it very valuable for the late Summer gar- 
den. It is perfectly hardy and has no particular soil require- 
ments. Plant 10 inches deep. Price: 75e each, $7.50 per 
dozen. 
}+Regale or Myriophyllum—Flowers white, slightly suf- 
fused pink, with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at the cen- 
ter. Delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine. 
Blooms out of doors early in July. Absolutely hardy. Plant 8 
inches deep. Price: Large size 75ec each, $7.50 per 
dozen; small size 3 bulbs $1.00, 12 bulbs 83.50.
